Cora Grace Winstead

Cora has loved Disney since she could sing the Winnie the Pooh theme by her second birthday, and is thrilled to be a part of spreading that special joy through Forever After Parties! A Texas native, she is currently a senior at Oklahoma City University majoring in Musical Theatre. She has six siblings, so growing up, creativity and a passion for play was often utilized. Cora also works as the Children's Choir director for First Presbyterian Church of OKC. Her passion for performing and music was instilled in her at a very early age by her mother, who is the best singer she knows. Locally, she was seen as Tzeitel in Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma's Fiddler on the Roof, and had the wonderful opportunity to be Rapunzel in workshopping Disney's When You Wish with Lyric. A few favorite roles of Cora's have been Jo (Little Women), Princess Winnifred (Once Upon a Mattress), and Babette (Beauty and the Beast). When she has a spare moment, she loves to play her ukulele and read classic novels. Cora is so thrilled to have the chance to bring joy and make memories with children through their favorite Disney character!

Emily Pace

Emily Jewell Pace is a Music Theatre major at the University of Central Oklahoma. Emily started performing at the young age of six when her mother got her to audition at their local community theatre and she hasn’t stopped since! Whenever she is not performing, she enjoys reading, volunteering, watching Turner Classic Movies, hanging out with family and putting a smile on her nieces and nephews faces. She is positively thrilled to be a part of Forever After Parties because she loves making children happy by making their dreams come true in some small way. Emily always says, “Every girl should feel like they’re a princess.” And by playing Cinderella, she is delighted to make every child feel like royalty.
